The planning process

• At our meeting 
  When we meet, we will go through all the elements of your wedding ceremony - Processional, Honored Guests, Memoriams, Vows, Rings, Readings, Music, Photography - everything - including recommendations for wedding vendors, suggestions for music, your family considerations, your wedding party choices, location characteristics, and everything else involved in planning your special day

• Reserving my services
  Once we meet, you may reserve your date and time with a non-refundable deposit of half the fee. Your deposit then applies towards the fee. Once you've reserved my services, I will get right to work on your ceremony scripting, writing up everything that we worked on at our meeting. The other half of the fee is due at the wedding rehearsal

• After we meet
  Within a week or two after we meet, you will receive the entire wedding ceremony scripting, completely written up from scratch for your review. Your scripting will be a clear, well-organized document, completely detailed and complete. This writing out of the scripting for your review is especially important. I undertake this effort so that you will always know exactly what to expect. With this complete scripting in hand, you will feel secure and confident knowing that your wedding ceremony is personalized and customized to reflect your beliefs, values, and wishes.

• Changes
  Once you receive your scripting, you can go through it to make sure that everything is exactly how you want it. If there are changes in the coming months, just let me know and I will send you a newly revised scripting, so we're always on the same page.  

• Rehearsal
  By this point, you'll have the complete and final scripting, with any and all changes you requested, and you will have the security of my conducting the wedding rehearsal so your wedding party, family, and everyone else is completely comfortable and confident. I will take care of the filing of the license and all final paperwork so all you will have to do is enjoy yourselves.

• Wedding day
  Now you'll be completely ready for your wedding! On your wedding day, I will arrive 30-45 minutes before your ceremony. You won't have to remember anything - it's just "repeat after me." You won't have to be in charge of anything - you can just say, "Talk to the Pastor." You can be completely in the moment, enjoying your big day.

• Through the entire process - 

• Meeting together 
• Planning
• Writing the ceremony
• Re-writing
• Recommending
• Advising
• Rehearsing
• And the wedding itself...

...your thoughts, beliefs, and wishes are of utmost importance.
